"When you have a girl swinging around by her ankles in a cat suit, that's innately sexy, but she's also intelligent, ambitious, motivated and calculated. I've never really seen a film of this genre where there's more than sex appeal to the female characters.

"Just recently, I was out with Genesis in New York, where we were being inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame. Iggy Pop came over to me to pay his respects and I'm thinking, "Iggy Pop!? The Godfather of Punk! This wouldn't have happened ten years ago." I guess after all this time a lot of people are finally shaking off their prejudices about me and feeling OK about admitting they like my music. If so, that's a wonderful thing. It doesn't make me the coolest man on the planet. But it's a start. Even so, there'll always be people out there like Noel Gallagher who firmly believe I'm the Antichrist."-Phil Collins [DailyMail]

"We have to be open-minded. I'm not saying American's are narrow-minded - I've lived in New York and Los Angeles - but where I grew up in Allentown, Pennsylvania… there was a small-town mindset that made me feel that sex was wrong. When my sister lost her virginity, I thought that was dirty and disgusting, and I was scared of sex. I remember I had a fight with my friend when I touched a boy for the first time and I didn't tell her. She got mad with me, not because I didn't tell her, but because I'd done it in the first place."-Amanda Seyfried [ShowbizSpy]
